Getting Those Precious Agates for Hu Tao: A Farming Guide
Hu Tao is a powerful Pyro Polearm user who can dish out serious damage. But before she can unleash her full potential, you need to level her up! And that means gathering Crimson Agates, a special material found in Liyue.
Here’s a breakdown of the most efficient ways to farm these precious stones:
1. Explore the Liyue Region:
- World Bosses: The most reliable source of Crimson Agates is by defeating World Bosses.
- Boss Battles: Each World Boss has a chance to drop 1-3 Crimson Agates per defeat. You can find a World Boss in each of Liyue’s regions.
- Weekly Bosses: Each week, you can challenge three Weekly Bosses for a guaranteed 2 Crimson Agates per boss. These bosses are typically tougher than World Bosses, so be prepared!
- Domains: Certain Domains in Liyue have a chance to drop Crimson Agates as rewards.
- Hidden Palace of Liyue: This Domain is the primary source for Hu Tao’s talent level-up materials. While you’re there, you’ll likely pick up some Agates too.
- Clear Sky, Peak of Vindhya: This Domain also rewards you with a chance to get Agates alongside other character materials.
2. Make the Most of Your Time:
- Daily Reset: Every day, you can reset the World Bosses and Weekly Bosses. This means you can fight them multiple times each day for more Agates.
- Events: Keep an eye out for special events in Genshin Impact. Some events offer special rewards, including Crimson Agates, so don’t miss out!
- Resin: Resin is a resource that is needed to unlock rewards from Domains and World Bosses. Spend your Resin wisely by prioritizing the activities that give you the best chance of getting Crimson Agates.
- Resin Refresh: You can refresh your Resin by using Original Resin or spending Primogems. If you’re really dedicated to farming Agates, consider using some of your precious Primogems to refill your Resin.
3. The Right Approach for Efficiency:
- Focus on One Boss: Instead of running around to different World Bosses, pick one that you enjoy battling and stick with it. This saves you time and makes farming a bit less repetitive.
- Use Food Buffs: Some food items in Genshin Impact can increase the amount of materials you get from boss battles. Use these food buffs to maximize your Agate drops.
- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Team up with friends to fight the World Bosses! You’ll be able to take down the bosses faster, allowing you to farm more Agates in a shorter amount of time.
4. A Word of Patience:
- It Takes Time: Don’t expect to get a mountain of Crimson Agates overnight. Farming takes time, and it’s important to be patient and consistent with your efforts.
- Prioritize: Don’t just farm for the sake of farming. Prioritize getting Agates when you need them for Hu Tao’s ascension. You don’t need to level her up all at once.
- Enjoy the Journey: Genshin Impact is a beautiful game with lots to explore. Don’t forget to take a break from farming and enjoy the world!
Remember, farming Crimson Agates is a long-term commitment. Be patient, be efficient, and most importantly, have fun!
